Yeah, that's a good series of articles. I've read a ton of stuff from physical therapy sites too and the most damaging common shoulder exercises are :

#1. upright rows - the absolute worst, shoulders are just not made to work in this position, the glenohumeral is 90 degrees twisted and then pinching under tension. Also hard on the wrists.

#2. deep bench presses with elbows out sideways - much safer with elbows properly tucked down along your ribs, also safer if you don't go all the way down

#3. squats - probably fine with healthy shoulders but it's a very bad compression position for the shoulder.

#4. militaries or lat pulldowns behind the head, especially with elbows out to the side - these are retarded and pointless, don't do them.
